Story Clarification: Molino Rezoning For Mobile Home

We need to clarify a story that was posted this morning on NorthEscambia.com.

Early this morning, we posted the story: “Rezoning Approved So Molino Man Can Put Mobile Home On Family Land”. This story was prematurely posted due to our error.

Escambia County’s planning board has approved rezoning a piece of property at at 51 Highway 97 in Molino to allow a mobile home. The Escambia County Commission has schedule a public hearing and vote on the rezoning for their March 4 meeting. But the commission has not yet voted to rezone the property.

We often pre-write stories to be posted at a future date, and this story was to have been posted if the BOCC approved the rezoning on March 4. Due to our error, the story was accidentally scheduled to run this morning.

We regret the error.
